Festive portable deals take off from Xbox Ally, Nintendo, PlayStation and Evercade

This page started for black Friday but has moved on as the deals come and go. I will update across the festive sales, as new portable hardware deals appear. I won't hype them as "pocket change" or "fire sale" like some sites, because that's bollocks.  December deals :  Evercade has 30% off various hardware, depending on the store, check the blog for details .  PlayStation Portal is currently £20 off on Amazon UK  (another £10 off for refurbs)  Update: Valve has jumped in with 20% off the Steam Deck LCD 256GB model (down to £279 in the UK) Update: Xbox Ally has various deals (pretty short-lived, but likely getting cut again for the post Christmas sale).  Update: PlayStation Portal has £20 off the range, bringing the white and black models down to £179, and 30th Anniversary Edition to £189. (Look out for another 5% off at checkout!)  First up is  Evercade offering a clutch of offers on hardware and games on Amazon and across other stores in Europ...

What's in your pants? A PlayStation Vita, naturally!

Ah, the Japanese subtlety when it comes to advertising. See what we could have won, if only another couple of million westerners had picked up a Vita! The latest rush of games get a nod too, with Oreshika 2, Freedom Wars, Monster Hunter Frontier, Toukiden and God Eater 2, and of course, he's playing on one of the nice-coloured models!

If anyone ever sees a Vita ad on western TV, let me know because I need some unicorn poop to feed my griffin with. However in the west if some lad whipped out a Vita in the changing room, I'm sure the local jocks would pummel him into oblivion pretty quickly.

The ad marks the start of Sony's Japanese summer campaign, highlighting the 29 games they get to play over the holidays. So, expect lots more clips in a similar vein. In the west, Sony's Vita marketing team (some sad sap called Gerald) will probably hide the last few remaining Vita units in shops' stock rooms and claim it is part of a guerrilla campaign.
